weelittle drummer, on the matter of wearing uniforms to go home, when I was in the army in 1980's the Irish lads who were due leave used to get permission to grow their hair longer than regulation length so as not to show they were squaddies.

An earlier post asked about a book "Glasgow Gangs Remembered". I haven't read that one but I used to have a recent one "Tongs Ya Bas!".

Interesting info but writtn in an incredibly stupid manner which kind of negated a lot of the positive aspects.
